2+ day, 20+ hour ago (194+ words) Happy Thanksgiving 2025! Let us thank the Lord for our individual rights and freedoms, which come from God. 1 Chronicles 29:11-13 "Yours, O LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the majesty and the splendor, for everything in heaven and earth is yours. Yours, O LORD, is the kingdom; you are exalted as head over all. Wealth and honor come from you; you are the ruler of all things. In your hands are strength and power to exalt and give strength to all. Now, our God, we give you thanks, and praise your glorious name." This year we have so much to be grateful for. America was saved from the Communist left last year. The evil was swept out of office. President Trump miraculously survived an assassination. And President Trump is back in office and keeping his promises. God…...

6+ day, 15+ hour ago (485+ words) Since September 2025, there has been a wave of attacks against Ethiopian Orthodox Christians in the Arsi zone of the Oromia region. In Sherka district alone, 144 people have been killed. The violence has also affected Catholics, prompting the Catholic Bishops" Conference of Ethiopia to condemn the attacks. On October 24, militants identified as members of the Oromo Liberation Army attacked the historic Asebot Monastery in West Hararghe Zone and nearby residents. One believer, Anbes Felate, was killed, and his son, Betre Anbes, was critically injured. Two others were abducted. Asebot Monastery has faced repeated assaults since the early 1990s. This attack was separate from the killings in Arsi zone. In early November, three more were killed, including a 10-year-old boy. In a separate attack in Merti district, at least five Orthodox Christians were killed while working on teff (a type of grain) farms....

1+ week, 2+ day ago (582+ words) In several countries, simply owning or sharing a Bible can lead to arrest, imprisonment, or exile. Earlier this year, two Christian converts in Iran were sentenced in absentia to twelve years in prison for possessing and distributing Persian-language Bibles, which authorities classified as smuggled goods. Their homes had been raided during a nationwide sweep targeting Christian literature, and they fled the country before sentencing. Iran has repeatedly arrested Christians for Scripture possession, with more than one hundred detained in 2023. Officials describe Bible distribution as a sensitive activity, and even recognized Christian minorities are warned not to preach to Muslims. These cases illustrate how access to Scripture is treated as a criminal act in many parts of the world, forming part of the wider pattern of Bible bans and restrictions documented across eighty-eight countries. Jos Snope, CEO and president of Bible…...

1+ week, 3+ day ago (616+ words) Many Christians believe Scripture affirms that nations have both a God-given right and a duty to regulate their borders. They often cite passages that present national boundaries and lawful authority as part of divine order. Acts 17:26 is one of the most frequently referenced verses: "And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation." For many believers, this affirms that God established distinct nations with defined borders. His comments closely reflected the Catechism of the Catholic Church, which teaches that prosperous nations should welcome foreigners seeking security while still retaining the authority to regulate immigration for the sake of the common good. Paragraph 2241 adds that immigrants must obey the laws of the country that receives them and…...

2+ week, 1+ day ago (789+ words) Mosques and Madrassas: Building Parallel Worlds Halal Economy: From Choice to Mandate Texas has vaulted ahead: its halal sector has hit $9 billion, with 20% year-on-year growth in Dallas and Houston. Costco in Plano boasts expansive halal counters, while Alnoor Market thrives on Dallas ISD's mandate for halal nuggets served to 150,000 students weekly'tax-funded, unlabeled, and opt-out free. Britain's "invisible tax" started identically; Texas's scale, tied to agribusiness, amplifies the risk of normalized imposition. Sharia Finance: Ethical Facade or Ideological Inroad? London's pivot under David Cameron in 2013 crowned it the West's Sharia-banking hub, with five full banks and twenty more outlets. The $5.4 trillion global Islamic finance market, projected to reach $9.75 trillion by 2029, was rebranded as "ethical," masking deeper capitulation.

This subtly elevates divine law over state norms,…...

2+ week, 1+ day ago (1144+ words) Guest post by John L. Kachelman, Jr. Whenever mankind tries to "help" the Almighty's promises, only tragedy results. Such is the conclusion with Abraham and Sarah trying to help God's promises. Even though centuries have passed since their disastrous choice, the tragedy continues. Such eventually birthed the Islamic Worldview. Islam has posed a deadly threat to the Judeo-Christian Worldview. The two are incompatible and will never reconcile their differences (see the bullet points below). This is a conclusion that is politically incorrect. But this is a conclusion from reality. The fool boasts in the "coexist" bumper sticker. The narrative of Charles Martel ("The Hammer") fitly frames the conflict (although many more historical references could be cited such as Malta or Constantinople). The'Battle of Tours is studied in think tanks and war colleges of significant battle stratagems. Tours was a key moment…...

3+ week, 1+ day ago (1369+ words) The wait to enter St. Peter's Cathedral in Rome was more than an hour, with visitors from all over Europe and the world packed shoulder to shoulder between barricades for several blocks. As uncomfortable as it can be to move at a snail's pace through a crowd that size, it's even more frustrating when you have a specific destination in mind. I knew that if I could get close to the main altar and cut left, I could join the line for one of the hourly Masses. It took about 30 minutes, but I was grateful to make it. When the security guard finally lifted the velvet rope and ushered us inside, I was surprised to see that about 15% of the seats were empty once Mass began. Countless thousands entered St. Peter's to admire its beauty, but only a small percentage…...

In 2024 alone, 3,100 Christians were killed and 2,830 kidnapped. President Trump wrote on Truth Social, "Christianity is facing an existential threat in Nigeria. Thousands of Christians are being killed. Radical Islamists are responsible for this mass slaughter." "I am hereby making Nigeria a "COUNTRY OF PARTICULAR CONCERN" " But that is the least of it." "When Christians, or any such group, is slaughtered like is happening in Nigeria (3,100 versus 4,476 Worldwide), something must be done!"
